The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 887 - 405

Father Xu was already prepared; today, he and his wife would need to swallow their pride. No matter what others said, the two of them had to act as if they heard nothing. Everything would wait until after the banquet was over.

Of course, while he was a good person, he was not the kind to remain silent when someone stepped on his head.

Now, he was advising his wife to swallow their pride and not to fuss over minutiae, because he didn’t want to follow the other woman’s lead. That woman probably hoped to incite a quarrel between them and place them against the Xiao family couple.

However, the turn of events took them by surprise.

Not only did the woman who had been badmouthing their son behind their backs come into play, but neither of the Xu family couple anticipated that the Xiao couple would appear suddenly, and moreover, Madam Xiao even spoke up for them.

She even gave a direct order to have the troublemaker carried out of the venue.

The troublemaker could never have imagined that Situ Xin would have her physically removed from the banquet hall. "Madam Xiao, you can’t treat me this way, I’m a guest you invited." She knew that if she was truly thrown out of the banquet hall by Situ Xin’s people today,

She would become the laughingstock of Capital City’s social circle. Moreover, offending Situ Xin also meant offending the Situ Family and the Xiao Family, and she was well aware of the kind of retribution that could result.

Indeed, when she had discussed it with her sister, she knew the repercussions of crossing Situ Xin. She incited trouble, hoping that during the banquet, the Xu family couple would offend the Xiao family couple.

This way, Xu Haoyang’s hopes of marrying the Xiao family’s young miss would become impossible, and they would suffer the retaliation from both the Situ and Xiao families.

Their scheming seemed sound, but things did not go in the direction they had anticipated at all.

"You may have entered with an invitation I issued, but whether you’re the person I intended to invite is another question. I don’t believe I know such an ill-mannered person," Situ Xin said, effectively silencing the truculent woman’s unspoken protest: "What is the meaning of this? Quickly remove irrelevant individuals, so as not to dampen everyone’s mood."

"Yes, Miss."

Situ Xin watched as the troublemaking woman was escorted out of the banquet hall and thrown onto the ground. Only after seeing the woman’s disheveled state did she turn her head away.

Situ Xin’s method of dealing with the situation made those who had gossiped with the Xu family couple upon their arrival shrink back into the crowd, fearing that Situ Xin might come for them next.

If they were dealt with by Situ Xin today, they would have nowhere to cry. Moreover, from the moment they were thrown out of the banquet hall, they would find no footing in Capital City. It was clear to see that the current Xiao Family Head, Xiao Muli, was loyally trailing behind Situ Xin, assuming the posture of a protector.

They now despised to death that troublemaking woman who Situ Xin had someone throw out just now.

Just now, they had been bewitched by that woman’s words. Thinking back on the things she said to them, and the words she led them to say, they had inwardly cursed that troublemaker from inside out, and from outside in.

Of course, they would never self-reflect. They would only place the blame on others.

Situ Xin and Muli saw the thoughts of those people and couldn’t be bothered to care.

Just now, Situ Xin personally took care of that troublemaker. It was a warning to the monkeys by killing a chicken, meant to show everyone present a clear message. Although Xu Haoyang was not yet their son-in-law and the Xu family couple had no relations with them at the moment, anyone looking to bully the Xu Family had to weigh their own worth.

Clearly, the approach taken by the couple, Situ Xin and Muli, had achieved the effect they anticipated.

Standing some distance away, the Xiao brothers, Xuyang and Xuqu, who were dragged there by their parents to toil, had no intention of stepping forward. However, seeing what their mother did, the two brothers exchanged a look with an unspoken understanding.

"Looks like mom really takes a liking to that kid, Haoyang," Xuyang commented.

"It’s not just Haoyang she’s fond of, but also the Xu Family. After all, the Xu family is straightforward, without so many schemings. This makes her life more comfortable. And Haoyang, with his love life a complete blank, apart from his relationship with Yaoyao, he’s repelled by other women of his age. Such a person is most suited for Yaoyao," Xuqu said, his eyes suddenly changing, "Ayang, we only have one sister, she’s incomparable to anyone else." Xuqu’s words carried a strong warning.

Xuyang certainly understood where the warning in his big brother’s words came from. He awkwardly touched his nose and said, "Big Brother, you misunderstand me. For me, Yaoyao is definitely incomparable to anyone else." He knew about Zhao Chen falling for Yaoyao, and also knew that Zhao Chen had confessed to her. "I’m 100 percent sure that Yaoyao has no feelings for Zhao Chen. That girl’s heart is completely focused on Haoyang right now. That’s why I didn’t stop Zhao Chen from confessing to Yaoyao. Only if Yaoyao clearly rejects him can he give up. I did it for Yaoyao’s sake."

Xuqu gave Xuyang a cold glance and said, "As long as you know what you’re doing. By the way, I’ll leave first."

Xuqu didn’t wait for Xuyang to react before he stepped away and disappeared into the crowd. "Hey, where are you going? You can’t just leave me alone here, mom has asked both of us to stay and help."

Xuyang watched Xuqu disappear and was still muttering, when suddenly he heard someone ask, "Xuyang bro, where’s brother Qu?"

Hearing this voice and the question asked, he finally understood why his big brother had run off, and so hurriedly at that.

"My big brother was just here, how could he vanish in the blink of an eye? I really don’t know where he ran off to." Actually, it wasn’t just Xuqu who would want to run from her; even he, Xuyang, would feel the same urge. This girl who has no real ties with their Xiao Family or Situ Family seemed to insist on forcing some connection. It was as if she wanted to be intimately close with them all the time. And she was captivated by his big brother, always appearing to want to stick by his side all day long. "Ah, how could I forget? My mom did assign me a bunch of tasks. I have to go and take care of them. Hope you have fun."

Saying this, Xuyang practically ran away, leaving behind the woman stamping her feet in frustration.
